Hello!

I am trying to create a stored procedure in MYSQL, which I intend to count books in a table that is written by a certain author:


DELIMITER //
CREATE PROCEDURE CountBooks()
BEGIN
DECLARE bookCounter INTEGER;

SELECT COUNT(*)
INTO bookCounter
FROM book
WHERE bookAuthor LIKE 'Vlad Tepec';
END //

CALL CountBooks,(bookCounter);
SELECT @bookCounter;

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS CountBooks;


@bookCounter is null... How can I modify the stored procedure to get the expected result?
Thanks!
